Watched Life Itself (the Dan Fogelman one) this evening with the girlfriend and....it wasn't bad? Don't know what the critics saw that resulted in a 14% RT score. Clearly the audience disagreed, given the 83% audience score. We enjoyed it.
6/10

Honestly, it's kinda great to see an almost 60 year old actor (who isn't Tom Cruise, who I can't believe is the same age as Ralph Fiennes) lead a big action blockbuster. At least that's what I hope considering that Fiennes seems to be taking most of the screentime in this trailer.
Ralph Fiennes is the best! Looking forward to this.

I've just watched some youtube videos breaking down the trailer. My brain hurts. This movie will be veryyyy complicated.
The nature of those breakdown videos is that they waaaaay overthink things. The movie will be fine.

Speaking of games, recently started playing Watch Dogs for the first time (for $9 bucks on the X-Box store, why not?). I'm kinda hooked.

It's a low risk vaccine as it uses standard technology and it was already in development before COVID19 struck, they just piggybacked the new structure onto it.
The risk is the disease disappears on its own before they have time to prove it in the general population.
Ah, gotcha.
We'll see what comes of it. What's the general feeling on COVID over there in the UK? Fear? Desperation to open up again?

Pretty obvious they are purposefully delaying it by small increments so the movie will keep getting a burst of media attention every time. Smart
Meh, I'm not sure. It will get old quick. There's only so long people will keep up the buzz and conversation before saying "release the damn movie already or I'm out".

So #BrownFragility and #BrownComplicity are trending on Twitter. For real.

100m doses of AZD1222, https://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/1727007?tsid=33
The production will start before all the phases are completed so if they achieve them they will be already be ready.
Huh. I hadn't heard this. I figured clinical approval - which hasn't happened yet, to my knowledge - would be necessary before an order of this magnitude.

SInce when has public opinion felt compelled to follow the rules for due process?
You also might have the situation where it turns out not quite to be rape, but still puts the guy in a hard light.
You are pretty nieve if you think that due process of law is applied when ti comes to the court of public opinion.
I am aware, and that's my entire point. I realize we can't avoid the court of public opinion but that's why I'm counting on the grown ups - aka the studio, Spielberg, etc. - to not engage in that and wait for due process, like how WB handled the Johnny Depp situation leading up to Fantastic Beasts 2.
Let Twitter and woke folks cancel away. They have no power but to rage amongst themselves (so long as nobody caves to it - I know that they in fact do have a lot of power nowadays with people in power caving ).

What are you waiting for Elgort to say "yup I did it, it was me!" ?
Uh, no. I'm waiting for some sort of investigation to take place and then waiting to see if he's actually charged and then convicted? Have we completely forgotten the concept of due process and how a court of law works in the age of cancel culture?

He brings up Star Wars because he starred in it and it had reshoots too. He wouldn't give as an example a movie he has not starred in. No need to panic
This, lol.

Yeah, let's wait and see what happens;
but I do think recasting and reshooting are probably off the table.THis ain't like that movie they reshot with Plummer.
I agree, especially with a movie like this as you said. If Ansel is indeed guilty, the movie is toast.
-
Just now, dudalb said:
I think recasting at this point is probably impossible without adding massive costs to the movie (which I don't think Disney is anxious to do );I suspect they and the movie, if the charges stick, are pretty much screwed.
I think everyone involved will act like grown ups and move forward until the claims are verified and Ansel is actually charged.
-
Sigh. I see the court of public opinion is already in session. Let's wait on the validity of the claims before we do any cancelling, shall we?
I'd say this on Twitter too but that's a lost cause. Blue check marks all over are embarrassing themselves as usual.

Not sure what the most ridiculous take in this thread is.
Regardless, I'm not going to a theater for any movie until there's a widely available vaccine.
Even if it's something I've been looking forward to as much as this.
If you only knew what was in the air in a tightly packed theatre even before COVID....
Sad to say you'll be waiting a loooooong time if a vaccine is the benchmark for you.

God, I hope those rumors about the Joker showing up for the sequels isn’t true. We’ve had enough live action incarnations of the Joker to last a lifetime.
But not Phoenix's Joker, right?
Don't get my hopes up that Joker might be Batman canon!

Gut feeling? Eternals. I feel like that movie, though an entirely new set of characters and all that, is going to be mega popular. Think GotG breakout but bigger.

Rowling's words, which was what got the transgender thing happening...are actually very valid in a lot of ways.
Gender roles do change. That is a fact of life in every corner of this planet. But to dismiss biological sex in how it informs VERY much about everyone's life does our development a disservice.
I think people are getting so used to cancel culture nowadays that it's being abused. For people to turn on Rowling like they have is disgusting.
I'll tell you what's doing our development a disservice: thinking and acting with our feelings and not our intellect. I'm blown away at how almost all reason as gone out the window in favor of....whatever you call this progressive culture that's taking over right now. Maybe it's natural selection at work. I dunno....

You can't say mistakes aren't made. That's a ridiculously childish claim and the very opposite of the truth. You have children born every single minute around the world with horrific disabilities, compromised immune systems, cancer, STDs, neurological limitations, etc...
I don't believe blurring the line between sex and gender will ever work, not even by the left. But you ARE aware that some people are born with both a penis and vagina, right? Some are born with reduced development of their reproductive organs.
In general...that god doesn't make mistakes is not a valid argument whatsoever.
Yeah I worded that poorly. I meant mistakes specifically referring to sex. Obviously people are born with disabilities and stuff like you said and that's my point: if someone is born with a penis and a vagina, that is a deformity to me. It's not suddenly proof that "Hey, sex isn't binary!!". It's the exception to the rule, not the rule.
As I said to @aabattery, who like filmlover, is being a heck of a good sport about all this, maybe one day the concept will be very real to people like me. But at this point, for me personally, it isn't. In the meantime, I wish no ill will on any transgender person whatsoever and only the best, most comfortable life possible. That's the best I can do.
